Poundon House And Walls Of Terrace And Of Forecourt

Poundon House, along with the walls of the terrace and forecourt, is a mansion dated 1908, built by the local firm Lewis Penn for J.P.H. Heywood-Lonsdale Esq. The house is constructed from dressed ironstone and features a plinth, a moulded band course, chamfered quoins, and a wooden eaves cornice supported by brackets. It has a hipped stone slate roof and dressed stone chimneys with square shafts set diagonally. The building is designed in the style of around 1700 and has an H-plan layout, with two storeys and an attic.

The southeast front consists of nine bays, with the two outer bays on each side projecting. It has barred sash windows with architrave surrounds, and the ground floor windows are adorned with keyblocks. The slightly projecting centre bay features a pediment with wooden mouldings, and there are glazed and barred double doors in an architrave surround, complete with an entablature and a swan-neck pediment. The two attic dormers have five-light leaded casements topped with small central pediments.

To the right, there is a U-plan service wing that includes a basement, a main storey with cross windows, and hipped dormers with paired leaded casements. The garden walls attached to the front corners of the house curve around to form a relieving wall of the terrace. These walls are made of ironstone and include rusticated gate piers. The rear of the house, which faces the road, has an irregular layout featuring a Serlian window to the left of centre, groups of three sash windows to the right, and an open pediment above the centre bay. The door is flanked by Doric pilasters, topped with a triglyph entablature and a segmental pediment. There are also low ironstone walls attached to the forecourt.
